Voters of this latest ranking have determined the beloved shows they find most embarrassing to admit to enjoying, with a majority of the anime present unsurprisingly featuring casts entirely comprised of cute girls sure cause doubts in the minds of uninitiated commoners.

Lol why’s Bakemenogatari even on the list… I’d say it’s way more bizarre not to like Bakemonogatari. Haruhi is also ok if you exclude the endless arc, the rest I can agree with as they’re overrated trash.

reads to me differently than it does others. Most of the anime on this list are ones that I have no problem, nor believe that anyone would even care to make contest to.
Point being these are all pretty main-stream staples at this point. I for one, wouldn’t be embarrassed to tell anyone that I liked any of these listed.

(I’m actually with you with To Love Ru. I could probably accept this one being a bit intimidating to tell a parent, teacher of someone of authority for example. I mean who would willingly stand up in court and testify that you watch anime that centers around the exposure of 13-17 year old girls’ breasts, bare bottoms, and anything else that you wouldn’t normally see a woman walking down the street showing off no matter her age.)

I can think of much better choices for this list.

1. Kodomo no Jikan (can you imagine what you’d be admitting to if you said you liked this? -officer? Pedo-bear crossing!)

2. Kiss x Sis (and who wouldn’t just jump up and down over this series openly in public.)

3. High School DxD (Nothing says luscious like demonic *High School aged* girls especially if they’re still budding at Double-D bra sizes.

4. Queens Blade/Rouge Hero Athestica~~ Same reason as 3.

5. Any anime that gives opportunity for 60 year old animators to draw flat-chested high school/middle school girls in little to no clothes and in the most embarrassing Harem relationships.

6. Any anime that promotes (or makes fun of for the purposes of exploitation) themes like incest (nothing better than seeing Kirito making out with his Sister… Cousin… I mean whatever she is… I’m sure they’ll find a way to make it “legal”. Fine. It may be legal, but it doesn’t change the fact that it’s disturbing to watch.)

7. Any anime that uses a 9 year old’s body and CLAIMS that they’re “adults” or “older-teens” and then proceeds to rob them of all their chastity.

Bakemonogatari (why not monogatari series?), Haruhi, Lucky star and Chuunybyou!? Really!? With a so much large fanbase? Indeed, almost all of them shows up in lists of most popular in any moment. Well, Japan is a shounen world (at least as wishful thinking.

I feel like most of these shouldn’t be on the list. o.O I can understand a few of these like Card Captor Sakura. I remember when I was in middle school I made sure not to tell anyone I liked Sailor Moon because I am a male. But Chuunibyou, and Haruhi? Uh… What?

Which brings up a question… What genders were the voters? Some of these would make sense if it’s straight females afraid to admit they like some of the titles with a lot of fan service, or borderline nude girls. Some males might be embarrassed for similar reasons but a lot of these series aren’t even ecchi in the least.

Can we get more details on how the votes were held? Was it just a poll with selected titles, or were people able to submit 1 title personally per vote? Is there any gender, and/or age data as well? If not that’s fine. I’m just curious to see if there’s any change between those variables.

Hard to admit to loving CCS. Even with other con goers.
Not sure why it would be hard to admit Bakemonogatari or Girls und Panzer. Not sure why I should care about the haters either, I am sure they have shit taste too.

I don’t see what’s so bad about most of the stuff on this list that it would be embarrassing to tell people about.
I mean, I don’t see Ro-Kyu-Bu! on there anywhere. Now that’s fucking hard to talk about.

Where I live if you mention anime someone’s going to spit in a can and go get their rifle while looking at you funny, and I’m even not in America, some stupidity is too good to be contained apparently.

I don’t give two fuckaroos about what people think of my taste. I’ve rewatched Ouran host club 4 times, watched kissxsis twice, To love ru twice, love live once +movie and second season and bought figures, as well as everything on this list. I’m not afraid of what people have to say. Well I mean, they probably don’t say anything because they don’t want to get involved with a 6’5(1.96m) dude who will easily roast their faggot asses.

I would feel shame if i watched some awful reality show, or some dumb live comedy, or hyper violent show like there are tons in mainstream tv or online services out there. they want to see anime as embarrassing, heck all other stuff is way more embarrassing, but since everyone think following the herd is normal they won’t admit it.

It was okay at best. I mean, it was decent enough that I didn’t drop it, but still invoked that feeling of “why on earth am I still watching this?”. The humor felt forced most of the time, and given that that was basically what the show was riding on…

These!? embarrassing!?
They are mainstream series everyone has heard about and are seen as just another hobby, like AKB48 or Star Wars.
What if the cast are all cute little girls? Everyone likes cute little girls, whether they admit it or not.

Depends on which version… 7 I hear wasn’t that good (I think the creator questioned why he did it) and Delta isn’t that good, not after Frontier and the Frontier movies.

Delta is plot-driven without much characterization (Frontier’s chars had better development, even if you hated some of them), the technobabble is classic Hollywood science (Frontier only used what was necessary to explain the plot; Delta’s like trying to watch Hollywood hacker movie), and what plot there is feels contrived and superfluous. (Zero and Plus had more plot in 4 eps.)

Frontier took after classic Macross. Delta seems to be the next 7. (Disclosure: My only direct experience with 7 was with the PSP Macross games. And from those, which mirror the sources pretty damn well, 7 was retarded. I would say its only saving grace was the mecha design for the VF-17, but Frontier one-upped that with the VF-171 anyway.)

I still have no fucking idea why they thought an idol group would be a good route. (And the staple love triangle is hinted at but practically non-existent. There may be some char development, but char interaction and relationship development is about as thin as the air in space.)

yeah dont base what you hear or think as solid proof. i fucken love macross 7 from all other macross and thats just my opinion but not bashing the others at all because i like them. i been hearing 7’s music my whole life. long live basara and mylene (Yoshiki fukuyama!!)

Can we all just say that To love=Ru isn’t an anime it is a softcore hentai Like really I watch the first season it was good then season 2 I struggle to watch the last 2 eps and season 3 just became all fan service…

K-On shouldnt be number two it easy to tell people even to non anime watcher all people need to say is they they enjoy watch the girls go thru there high school days together thru music not really hard
